Suit over Norris "facts"
Tough-guy actor and martial-arts expert Chuck Norris, real name Carlos Ray Norris, sued publisher Penguin on Friday over a book he claims unfairly exploits his famous name, based on a satirical Internet list of "mythical facts" about him. Penguin published "The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 facts about the World's Greatest Human" in November. Author Ian Spector and two Web sites he runs to promote the book are also named in the suit. Among the "mythical facts": "Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried" and "Chuck Norris can charge a cellphone by rubbing it against his beard." The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, seeks unspecified monetary damages for trademark infringement, unjust enrichment and privacy rights.
